Sindbad Palace Hotel

This was our first visit to Baghdad, and our first stay at Sindbad Palace Hotel. We stayed 3 nights. Our hotel room was clean, and nicely supplied with big towels, individually wrapped toiletries, and slippers. Airco worked well, and sheets and towels are laundered well. The price was very good value for money as we paid 60,000 ID per night for a double room. My only minor criticism is that we would have appreciated some towel hooks or a towel rack in the bathroom of our fifth-floor room, though I can't say if other rooms have them. The staff are friendly and professional, and spoke some basic English. We felt that the hotel was safe, and the location was convenient. The popular kebab restaurant Sabah el Araby is nearby within walking distance. Don't bother eating at the Zarzoor Restaurant close to the hotel, as their food was bland and not at all not the same as in the main restaurant in Mansoor neighbourhood. In short, we will not hesitate to stay at Sindbad Hotel on our next trip to Baghdad, later this year or sometime in 2023.
